Arrowhead Gecko

Upon first glance, this small statuette of a gecko appears to be a ordinary, though superbly and life-like, piece of art made of steel.  Unlike a normal gecko, it has 6 triangular spines made of precious stones- ruby, sapphire, topaz, emerald, amethyst, and diamond.

The spines can be removed.  Once removed they can be attached to a normal arrow by sliding the hollow spine over the normal arrowhead.  This requires a standard action. An arrow enhanced this way has it’s damage type changed according to the stone used:

• Ruby- fire
• Sapphire- cold
• Topaz- acid
• Emerald- poison
• Amethyst- force
• Diamond- lightning

Close inspection of the statue reveals that the mouth can be opened revealing a circular depression.  If a gold piece is placed in the mouth, it will disappear and a replacement spine will grow after a long rest.  This can only be done once per day per spine (maximum of 6 gold per day if all spines are used in a single day.

Once attuned the bearer can, by holding the gecko and concentrating, choose what type of spine is created in each of the six slots (e.g., 3 ruby, 2 topaz, and 1 amethyst).  One gold piece per spine must still be fed to the gecko for each spine to grow. 

Notes: Attunement is achieved by “feeding” the gecko a total 20gp. Once attuned the bearer can, by holding the gecko and concentrating, choose what type of spine is created in each of the six slots (e.g., 3 ruby, 2 topaz, and 1 amethyst). One gold piece per spine must still be fed to the gecko for each spine to grow.
